Our Feb. 2012 Newsletter(25 MB) is now available.
"Tayba" is one of the many names of Medina, the Blessed City of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Tayba Foundation aims to serve the educational needs of our communities based on the example how Medina was a society rooted in education. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, I was only sent as a teacher. We also realize that many times students are in need of financial assistance to aid them during their times of study and through our charitable works we hope to facilitate this assistance for them. Our education and charitable programs are open to people of all faiths and walks of life, as Allah has commanded us to do so without restricting our works to people of one particular faith:
And they feed, for the love of Allah, the poor, orphan and the prisoner (Quran 76:8)
Our current programs include:
- The El Hajj Malik Shabazz Distance Learning Program for Inmates
- Halal meat for Muslim Eid Functions in State prisons
- Re-entry and Rehabilitation assistance inmates
- The Maktab Project for Teaching Fard Ayn (Essential Islamic Knowledge) to Children
- A Hifz program as part of a collaboration between Tayba and Ilm Tree Homeschooling Co-op

We are distributing free coin jars to homes and businesses that we will then collect the contents of on a regular basis. We currently have placed about 100 jars and our goal by the end of Ramadan is to place another 200. Having a coin jar in your home is a convenient way of maintaining a regular habit of giving charity. If you are interested in receiving a jar, please email jars@taybafoundation.org with your home address and phone number.
